Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Suffering from BB since puberty, now middle age. Always have bad taste in mouth, tongue white, nothing works. Today I felt like I had a sore throat and though darn it I'm coming down with something. I used my flashlight to look in my throat and I see a white dot. I though I'm getting strep. I took a...

Suffering from bb since age 12. Nothing has worked except tongue scrapping and brutal tongue scrubbing. I've been suffering from sore throats and throat infections as long as I can remember. Went to doctor today due to major sore throat. He did some poking around and he told me that my sinuses are n...

My next step in my 40 year fight with BB is to get my tonsils out. I had an ENT doctor look at them and he said they look fine, are small, not infected. I don't know what else to do at this point. My bb is soooooo bad. I have a bad taste of metal/sulfer constantly. My bb is the 'rotten egg' smell ty...

In 2009 there was a lot of new articles on Dr. Krespi and his laser technique in zapping tonsil stones that were made up of an accumulation of bacteria, causing bb. Has anyone tried this? It's $2,000 for the procedure but I'd pay a million at this point. Suffering from bb since age 12 (38 looooooooo...

A prominent halitosis doctor I saw in CA a few months ago told me his company did research and invented this new fangled product called "Dioxi Rinse" and they bottle it and distribute it and it was the best cure around for bb. I'm paying $45 a bottle with shipping to NY. Now I find out tha...

I've read a few posts here about having a doctor test your mouth for certain bacteria and then people take antiboitics.

What type of antibiotics can be taken and how are these tests done? What kind of doctor do I go see?

HP mouthwash is a rip off. They charge $7 for it and you can buy a plain old bottle of HP for $0.80 and it's the same thing!

I gargle with it and then let it sit on my tongue for a few minutes until the burning starts and I spit it out and scrape it off. Helps a little but no cure.

As a bb sufferer since age 12 I'm reaching here for anything. I have 3 brothers from same parents. None have bb. They also have full thick heads of hair. I have bb and since age 18 have suffered from hair loss - the typical male pattern baldness. That's young for hair loss. Do you think I could be g...

I had my wisdom teeth out when I was 18. So that has nothing to do with it. I still have my tonsils though. I've been thinking of getting those checked out. I had a halitosis "expert" tell me that my tongue was full of deep crevises. He used a "shag carpet" analogy. My tongue hid...

Suffering from moderate to severe halitosis since age 12... I know that I have real bad bb because my mouth gets dry but also I get a very bad taste in my mouth. My saliva tastes like friggin sulfur or metal. If I'm chewing gum the gum after 10 mins or so get a horrible taste to it. Also the colour ...

Like many bb sufferers, my tongue is coated with white. The 'hairs' and fibers on my tongue are very white, as is the crevis that runs down the middle of my tongue. Can anyone tell me what this 'white' is specifically, and why I have it?!?! I poured undiluted H2O2 on my tooth brush and held it down ...

Suffered from bb since age 12. Tongue is mildly white coated. Have a crevis down the center of my tongue. This crevis is very white. Subseptible to dry mouth. Saliva in mouth gets sour/metal/sulfer taste to it after not brushing for a few hours. I can scrape tongue, brush tongue like crazy, use hydr...

I've been scanning posts here and have noticed people are buying those supposed-bb cure toothpastes, which you can now get at Walmart or drug stores. I looked at the 'active ingredients' labels on those, and most of them are identical to the regular toothpaste. So basically, you're paying for a fanc...

So what is the word on that blue LED light idea? Has anyone had luck with it? Any success at all?

Has anyone here used those Dentiva breath mints? I usually suck on 2 of them after my vigorous 30 min toungue cleaning. They really seem to help the savlia flow and odor. They keep my mouth moist. Yesterday I met up with my 10 year old cousin. He said that I smelled like a medicine cabinet and my 11...
